IMATS Toronto 2011 Series: Donut Friday with Elessa and Koren

IMATS Toronto started early for me.  I arrived Friday at 11:00 am with fellow MUA Alia to assist the fabulous Eve Pearl with setting up her booth.  After getting things set up and checking into the hotel we headed over to Donut Friday at Jordane Store.  The store is small and quaint but has items to start off or stock a makeup kit.  Koren and Elessa did demos using some of Jordane products while we looked around the store at things to purchase and snacked on bite size sandwiches, cupcakes and timbits.

I only purchased 2 items, an artist style palette and a tube of black mascara for my kit.  I love the design of the palette.  It is easier to hold and has more space than my rectangular one.  Koren of Enkore Makeup used the mascara during his demo and I loved how it applied with the mascara fan brush and the spoolie.

Koren also talked about color theory, and brow anatomy.  The above link shows a video from the event.  

IMATS Toronto November 2011

The International Makeup Artist Trade Show Toronto will be back November 12-13, 2011 at the Toronto Congress Centre.  If you missed last year's show and The Makeup Show Chicago then you definitely do not want to miss this year's show.  With over three months to save for hotel, travel, food, products and more, I expect to see more of my fellow makeup artists, vloggers and bloggers from the US this year.  Michigan does not have events such as IMATS and The Makeup Show so we have to travel to the events if we want the education and also to test and see the products in person.

IMATS Toronto is a great event for makeup artists, aspiring makeup artists and makeup enthusiasts.  It is open to the public and the tickets are affordable.  It is best to purchase tickets in advance.  IMATS is an opportunity to network with other makeup artists and to see what new products are out.  IMATS is also an opportunity to watch some of the best in the industry teach a new technique or style of makeup you may not know. 

     Check out the International Makeup Artist Trade Show  website for further information on the show. You can also check out http://tantalizing-eyez.blogspot.com for pictures and more on last year's IMATS Toronto.
